The opening is fruity and bright, with blackcurrant and bergamot in front and violet leaf adding a green coolness. In the heart, marine notes and iris give it an aquatic feel. The base of cedarwood, musk and sandalwood settles it into a soft, woody finish, with a faint spicy touch in the background.
